No Olympics For Sierra in 2022

...or anywhere else in the U.S.

The Olympic Games will not be returning to the Sierra or to any
potential American venue in 2022. The United States
Olympic Committee declined today to put forth a bid to the
International Olympic Committee for any American site to host the
games.

An exploratory committee from Reno, Tahoe, and Sacramento had
hoped the U.S. committee would consider supporting a
California-Nevada partnership for 2022. The USOC says
it will focus on 2024 and 2026 bids instead.

The USOC refused to submit bids while it was negotiating a
profit-sharing agreement with the International Olympic
Committee. That agreement was finalized last week.
